"The most ambitious picture I have ever done for a book cover. I painted the background like this and not in full colour as I intended it to be a tapestry showing the collaps of his civuilisation and not a real background. In the new era of Man that is dawing neither he nor the dragons have a place except as figures of myth and legend." Bookcover illustration for "Elric at the End of Time", by Michael Moorcock. Painted in 1983.
